Broncos Ink Former Chiefs Running Back Jamaal Charles to a One-Year Deal

The Broncos have inked former Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Charles had his physical and came back and agreed to a one-year deal worth up to $3.75 million, Rapoport added per a source.

The Broncos were in need of a running back to complement C.J. Anderson after trading Kapri Bibbs to San Francisco in exchange for a fourth-round selection in the 2018 draft.

Last year’s fourth-round pick, Devontae Booker, was a disappointment as a rookie, averaging a scant 3.5 yards per on 174 carries.

“I always wanted to play for Denver,” Charles said Tuesday. “I still feel like I can still play ball.”

Excited to have Jamaal Charles join the Broncos. A great addition to our backfield, and we're thrilled we won't have to play against him!
